A Paradigm Shift in Cosmology – We present empirical evidence from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including statistically-significant, independent measurements of galaxy theta-z, redshift-magnitude, and redshift-population. These corroborating data sets are clearly inconsistent with the optimal ΛCDM standard model of Big Bang cosmology, exacerbating the Hubble constant tension; the σ8 (clustering parameter) discrepancy; the lensing anomaly; the large-angular-scale anomalies in CMB temperature and polarization; and other anomalies that now confront cosmologists. A set of predictive equations are put forward that are consistent with de Sitter's exact solution of the Einstein field equations; this new predictive "temporal geometry" model, which requires vetting by the mathematical physics and cosmology communities, is consistent with the SDSS data and relieves the unexpected new tensions in cosmology created by initial and ongoing JWST observations.

Cosmological bound on the QCD axion mass, redux

September 2022 · Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We revisit the joint constraints in the mixed hot dark matter scenario in which both thermally produced QCD axions and relic neutrinos are present. Upon recomputing the cosmological axion abundance via recent advances in the literature, we improve the state-of-the-art analyses and provide updated bounds on axion and neutrino masses. By avoiding approximate methods, such as the instantaneous ... [Show full abstract] decoupling approximation, and limitations due to the limited validity of the perturbative approach in QCD that forced to artificially divide the constraints from the axion-pion and the axion-gluon production channels, we find robust and self-consistent limits. We investigate the two most popular axion frameworks: KSVZ and DFSZ. From Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) light element abundances data we find for the KSVZ axion Δ N eff < 0.31 and an axion mass bound m a < 0.53 eV (i.e., a bound on the axion decay constant f a > 1.07 × 10 ⁷ GeV) both at 95% CL. These BBN bounds are improved to Δ N eff < 0.14 and m a < 0.16 eV ( f a > 3.56 × 10 ⁷ GeV) if a prior on the baryon energy density from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data is assumed. When instead considering cosmological observations from the CMB temperature, polarization and lensing from the Planck satellite combined with large scale structure data we find Δ N eff < 0.23, m a < 0.28 eV ( f a > 2.02 × 10 ⁷ GeV) and ∑ m ν < 0.16 eV at 95% CL. This corresponds approximately to a factor of 5 improvement in the axion mass bound with respect to the existing limits. Very similar results are obtained for the DFSZ axion. We also forecast upcoming observations from future CMB and galaxy surveys, showing that they could reach percent level errors for m a ∼ 1 eV.

A precise and accurate determination of the cosmic microwave background temperature at z=0.89

December 2012 · Astronomy and Astrophysics

According to the Big Bang theory and as a consequence of adiabatic expansion of the Universe, the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) increases linearly with redshift. This relation is, however, poorly explored, and detection of any deviation would directly lead to (astro-)physics beyond the standard model. We aim at measuring the temperature of the CMB with an accuracy of a few ... [Show full abstract] percent at z=0.89 toward the molecular absorber in the galaxy lensing the quasar PKS1830-211. We adopt a Monte-Carlo Markov Chain approach, coupled with predictions from the non-LTE radiative transfer code RADEX, to solve the excitation of a set of various molecular species directly from their spectra. We determine Tcmb=5.08 pm 0.10 K at 68% confidence level. Our measurement is consistent with the value Tcmb=5.14 K predicted by the standard cosmological model with adiabatic expansion of the Universe. This is the most precise determination of Tcmb at z>0 to date.

SDSS data motivates reassessment of ΛCDM cosmology

September 2020

Alexander Mayer

The objective, statistical nature of SDSS astrophysical datasets, which were not driven by any theoretical agenda, reveal false and misleading prior measurements (e.g., redshift-distance) driven by confirmation bias in the context of such agendas. SDSS theta-z, redshift-magnitude (both spectroscopic and photometric pipelines), and galaxy population-density data are shown to conflict with the ΛCDM ... [Show full abstract] standard cosmological model. However, all four of these distinct and independent data sets are similarly consistent with a new cosmological model that revives de Sitter's 1917 solution to the field equations, long thought to entail an "empty universe." That new model, which represents a paradigm shift in cosmology, derives from considerations of symmetry and local proper time modeled as a geometric object, motivated by Minkowski (1909). The confrontation of all new predictive equations with corresponding SDSS data sets, using no free parameters, definitively resolves the modern quandary of astrophysical observables interpreted as accelerating cosmic expansion induced by 'dark energy.' The canonical idea of a non-relativistic universal time coordinate (i.e., ∼13.7 Gyr of 'Cosmic Time' from initial singularity) is supplanted by a relativistic, strictly-local time coordinate involving no such inscrutable singularity.

Minkowski’s foundations of spacetime physics and SDSS data motivate reassessment of ΛCDM cosmology

[Show full abstract] with the ΛCDM standard cosmological model. Moreover, all four of those distinct and independent data sets are similarly consistent with a new cosmological model that revives de Sitter’s 1917 exact solution to the field equations, long thought to entail an “empty universe.” Representing a paradigm shift in cosmology, that new model is entirely distinct from the textbook “de Sitter universe” model. It derives from considerations of symmetry and local proper time modeled as a geometric object, motivated by Minkowski’s metric characterization of relativity. All of the new predictive equations, which incorporate no free parameters, are confronted with corresponding SDSS data sets, thereby resolving the modern quandary of astrophysical observables interpreted as accelerating cosmic expansion induced by ‘dark energy.’ The canonical idea of a non-relativistic universal time coordinate applicable to all of of cosmological space and its energy content (i.e., ∼13.7 Gyr of ‘Cosmic Time’ from initial singularity) is supplanted by a relativistic, strictly-local time coordinate involving no such inscrutable singularity.
